This week, on Flaky pastry... Let me paint you a picture with my words.
Perhaps you, like me, were a kid in the 80s and 90s. If so, then perhaps you loved to read. Maybe even, like me, there was one kind of book you couldn't get enough of… gamebooks. What has become known as Choose Your Own Adventure type books (even though that's only one specific brand). I loved those; I still do! There aren't as many of them going around nowadays, but back then, they were all the rage. Be they dungeon delves with stats, dice rolling and combat, like Fighting Fantasy or Lone Wolf, with fifty ways to die one true ending; or fun, purely choice-driven little adventures with a boatload of different mostly unrelated endings, like the aforementioned CYOA series… They take me back to my childhood, is what I'm saying.
So! What does this have to do with today's EIGHT HUNDREDTH installment of Flaky Pastry?… I mean, it's kind of obvious. I wrote a CYOA-style adventure for you to play! Once I started thinking about this possibility, and realized it WAS a possibility… I just had to. Luckily, that happened back in July, so I had plenty of time to make it a reality. Cause I needed that time!
I have more ranting on the newspost on the website. Feel free to read it, but maybe you'd prefer to just read the adventure, eh? Eeeh?
